Fig. 3 is a side elevation of afragment of the bicycleframe, a fragment of saddle-frame, the latter insection. Fig. A is a cross-section of the tubular saddle-frame. v

A denotes an upper rear portion of a tubular bicycle-frame; B, atelescoping pipe-section having at its upper end a flange a. About thistelescoping section B, under the flange a, is placed a yoke C, havingperforated ears 1). About the central aperture of the yoke C is provideda recess 0 to receive and embrace the flange a.

D denotes the lower portion of the clamp by which the tubularsaddle-frame E is se cured in desired adjustment, said portion having atits lower side a neck portion (1, adapted to enter the tube B. At theupper end of said clamp and about central to the part D is provided arib 6, adapted to the depressionf, formed in the under side of thetubular saddle-frame E, and at the sides thereof upwardly-inclinedflanges that are adapted to embrace and support the curved Serial No.553,428.

In operation to adjust the saddle in the clamp the bolts 71. are turnedback to release the. saddle-frame E, which may be adjusted in the clampand secured in desired adjustment'by turning in the bolts, and to adjustthe saddle vertically the set-screw G is turned back and the telescopingtube B drawn up, as shown in Fig. 4E, and secured in desired verticaladjustment. To adjust the saddle laterally on the frame the set-screw Gmay be turned back and the telescoping section B turned in the frame Aand secured in desired adjustment by the screw G.

Having thus described the nature and the object of my invention, what Iclaim is- The combination in a bicycle saddle support, of thetelescoping section B, having at its upper end an annular flange a, aset screw G, clamping yoke C, a saddle piece D, having a neck portion(1, a rib e, and inclined flanges f, a tubular saddle frame E, having atits under side, a groove h adapted to receive the rib on the saddlepiece, D, the clamp F and tightening bolts 11., substantially asdescribed and for the purpose set forth.
